Seemed to be new young staff, delightful/refreshing experience. The only thing that would have been appreciated, would be chilled water. In saying that we probably would have outstayed our welcome.

We are regular customers. Whether it be family, friends or taking my elderly mum out for a meal it always ticks every box. It’s always a wonderful experience so unique to a beautiful national park and its surroundings.

*Very pleasant, relaxing environment with the river, trees and large grassy area. *The staff were extremely professional, personable and efficient and helped make the evening an enjoyable experience. *The meals were enjoyed by most of our group, except the lamb souvlaki, as the lamb was tough and gristly. *The only negative was the booking process. Every phone call directed me to go online. When I booked online through a 3rd party, I made an enquiry to which I did not receive a reply. A simple, 2 minute phone call would have solved my issue and avoided unnecessary inconvenience for me, but every phone call directed me back to online. Kris

Having booked a table for 12 people, we were very surprised to find that they would not split the bill. It used to be no problem at this restaurant, maybe under new management?? Food was average, ordered a coffee that never turned up. Won't be going back.
